Lawyers for President Donald Trump say video of his interactions with campaign staffer Alva Johnson before a Tampa rally in 2016 contradicts her claims he subjected her to an unwanted, forcible kiss.Wednesday and cited it in pleadings filed with a federal judge handling a lawsuit Johnson filed in February claiming trauma from the interaction with Trump, and that sex and racial discrimination impacted her pay while working as an outreach staffer for the campaign.
After the kiss cited in the lawsuit, Johnson can be heard saying: “We're going to get you in the White House; I'll see you in February.”Sign Up While Trump’s legal team cast the video as devastating for Johnson’s suit, her attorneys say the recording is a boon to her case because it confirms that she and Trump did interact in the RV on the date Johnson claimed.
Asked whether the interaction is notably different from those frequently seen on rope lines at campaign events, Zavareei said: “I don’t regard it as innocuous. ... Does it look dramatic? No. That does not mean it wasn’t a serious battery. It’s a battery because she didn’t want it to happen. It’s not an appropriate thing to do to another person.”
Trump’s lawyers submitted a brief, personal declaration from him saying he had no recall of the encounter.
